(sent this from the wrong address, sorry if it double-posts) Based on the feedback from other members of the mailing list, it seems like AJAX Solr has become the "blessed" JavaScript client, inheriting that status from SolrJS. I'm not aware of other Solr JavaScript clients. In any case, I support the creation of a wiki page dedicated to JavaScript clients generally, as opposed to any JavaScript client specifically, if only to prevent confusion as to what the status of each of the libraries is.
